Simple Soul

A simple soul desires simple things,
health, family, and favor from God.

A simple soul prays a simple prayer,
Thy will be done, with all its might.

A simple soul performs simple acts, 
the task at hand, the duty of vocation.

A simple soul offers simple means,
an open mind, a heart to be stirred.

A simple soul follows the simple Way,
with a supple will, upon its knees
waiting to be moved.

A simple soul has a simple design,
thread with thanksgiving, 
and patterned with praise, 

A simple soul displays a simple trust,
like a child, in the Providence of God.

A simple soul
simply lives its life
simply gives its life
for the glory of God.
